Your above article is really good. But I am having one small doubt. Can u please confirm that whatever the ip address you have given as time server, in your example will be get by dhcp client. I would like to know whether any extra settings needed to be done on client side, so that time syncronization will happen between dhcp server and all the dhcp clients.
Since normally dhcp client will be receiving only standard options like
ip address, subnet mask, router, dns server name, wins server name.etc
For getting time server address, what has to be done on windows 2000 professional or windows NT client
